Sheffield Wednesday 2-2 Hull City: Owls rally to hold Tigers


The home side made a really impressive start with fullback Harry Amass heavily involved. His byline cross narrowly evaded Jamal Lowe at the far post after clever linkup with Barry Bannan.

Ingelsson broke the deadlock on 20 minutes with a smart finish direct from goalkeeper Pierce Charles’ long clearance. It was nothing short of what they deserved.

Hull took half an hour to create a proper chance and Belloumi was unlucky not to equalise after turning Oli McBurnie’s cross goalwards with Liam Cooper’s effort then cleared off the line.

Just six minutes later, though, Belloumi did level having received Crooks’ searching ball before he fired low past Charles at the near post.

After a strong start to the second half, Hull were looking to impose themselves, but Wednesday retook the lead against the run of play when Cadamarteri lobbed Ivor Pandur after latching onto Bannan’s lofted pass.

Just as they did in the first half, Hull hit back quickly. Moments after miscuing a free header in the area, the ball fell nicely for Crooks and he slotted home.

Once again, the visitors couldn’t find that extra gear to grab a winner. Enis Destan headed tamely wide from Ryan Giles’ cross in stoppage time, but that was as close as they came.

Ultimately, it was a frustrating afternoon for Hull, who could have gone third with a win but didn’t do enough.
